O! The unexercised living being indeed takes on fault. How is that? ||*1
From killing living beings up to possession, from discontent up to the dart of false view— ||*2
taking on fault through these, cutting off of hands, cutting off of feet, ||*3
up to wandering through cycles [of rebirths] according to the ninth chapter's discourse. But the living being, O, ||*4
who does not take on fault—how is that? Thus said the arhat seer Varisavakaṇha: ||*5
Through abstention from killing living beings up to [abstention from] the dart of false view, ||*6
through restraint of the five senses, ear and the rest, not acquiring fault, ||*7
passing beyond cutting off of hands, cutting off of feet, up to states of dejection, ||*8
they abide in the auspicious, unmoving [realm] ... ||*9
Just as a bird [breaks through] the trap's snare, the strap, and the rope,
or as one bearing a water-vessel [cleaves the water], so one should break through in discrimination. ||1
Thus he is perfected, enlightened ... does not quickly return to this state again, so I say. ||*10
